Sub overhaul work cut as shipyard faces layoffs
Congressional protests over shipyard overhauls meet limited success as Adm Leggett says fewer subs will come for overhaul this spring. Three factors boost reductions: longer intervals between overhauls, East Coast ships reassigned to West Coast, and equal distribution of East Coast work. Leggett cites a 7 600‑strong workforce at the yard, 87 percent above pre Korean War levels, with possible further cuts tied to other yards.
